After the 'death' of Batman who laughs Diana with Wally went to search for the remaining people and make a plan to storm Castle Bat and take back everything that Perpetua had destroyed. Perpetua had been destroying universe after universe so that he could reshape the multiverse from scratch.
There were in total 52 universes in the DC positive multiverse unlike the huge number of multiverses of Marvel so Perpetua didn't have to do much to destroy the universes. She was destroying them for fun and having a good time.
Diana and others were horrified by this and they wanted to bring back everything and everyone. But Batman was not so happy with the plan. She wanted to restore everything but Batman felt that she was daydreaming.
Batman wanted to just have one universe for themselves and didn't care what Perpetua's plans were. Batman knew how powerful Perpetua was and they could never win against her. But the plan all hinged at the point that they needed to take over Castle Bat first.
And thus they made the plan. But as usual they confronted various versions of Batman along the way. In one case, Martha Wayne was Batman. That blew the minds of the people. This was fucked up and that she played minds tricks with Bruce.
But Bruce was too ruthless and just shot her down. But later, when they ran the audience could see tear drops falling from under the mask.
They finally went inside the Castle Bat and they were more horrified by what they saw. The current Earth didn't have a sun so Batman who Laughs and Perpetua had made special measures for that. They had forced Superman to run on a treadmill and the power generated was what gave energy to the prime Earth.
He was made to run in a room which had all forms of Kryptonite attached on the walls so that he wouldn't be able to escape ever. And if that was not enough, Batman who Laughs had put up a guard to look after Superman.
Guard in the form of a version of Batman.
The Darksied version of Batman. Yes, you heard it right. A Batman who had the powers and the body structure of Darksied and even his Omega Sanction!!
"The fuck!!"
"This is bullshit."
"Why is the multiverse hell bent on showing Batman in a darklight?"
Even Bruce himself had a ugly face. Having his own mother on the other side was painful enough, did the multiverse have to show him one more ugly part of his various lives?
Later a terrible fight ensued. Superman was visibly different here as his body was slowly starting to be like Darksied. Superman himself said that he didn't have much time to live in this world and they needed to do whatever to bring everything back to normalcy.
In the fight, Superman noticed that Batman was not hurt at all by the Omega beam of the other Batman. It was there he came to know that Batman had died a long time ago, during the fight against Perpetua for the first time.
The reason he was alive was because of the Black lantern. It was then the audience remembered that the Lantern Ring only takes a dead person as the wielder. Many of the people had forgotten that and those who remembered were skeptical about it. And now their theories proved correct.
Diana went on a mission to save the multiverse. While Batman and Superman went to gather the remaining heroes on all the multiverse. It was possible because Perpetua now was fighting Darkest Night
You are asking who is Darkest Night?
Well he is Batman who Laughs!! Not exactly him but at least the brain behind the new form of Batman was!! When Diana killed Batman who Laughs, his brain still remained. Thus his legion brought the brain back and put it inside the skull of a dead version of Dr. Manhattan.
Dr. Manhattan was a wielder of all the positive forces of the DC multiverse and thus with the help of the body of Dr. Manhattan became one of the powerful persons of the DC multiverse and with this new body he went on to fight against Perpetua.
As Diana was doing everything possible to bring the original multiverse back, Perpetua was losing powers. Batman and Superman were forcing people to remember their past, their hopes and dreams and this made her weak. While Darkest Night was just becoming more strong in the fight.
And finally after a long fight, chugging planets at each other, destroying galaxies in their wake, the Darkest Night was finally able to seal away Perpetua and send her back to the cracked Source Wall again.
Ending the terrifying reign of Perpetua but it was not over as a more terrifying being was now sitting on the same throne that Perpetua once sat on. A more cruel being!

But this wasn't all that was happening. Diana was on the move and she finally found the way to take back everything that they have lost. Because she found the weapon . A weapon which had been with her since she stepped her foot on the mainland.
The Lasso of truth!!
The lasso of Truth was based on the fact that a person could speak the truth only if she or he remembered it. The Lasso was the truth itself. No matter how ugly the truth was, it was what bounded the past and the future together.
With the help of the remaining Anti-Crisis energy she was able to make the remaining heroes remember their past and their aspirations for the future. This included all crisis events that had happened until then. The Flashpoint, the war with the Black Lanterns, the Final Crisis against Darksied... everything.
The more the people remembered the more there was a rise of Anti-Crisis energy and with the remaining power she went to fight against the Darkest Night which was basically a suicide with the amount of power she had.
But she had a plan. With the remaining power she had while she was fighting a hopeless fight against the Darkest Night she was breaking the Source Wall. The Source Wall was still standing though there was a huge crack now.
The Darkest wanted to mend the Wall and then rule over the multiverse and make it on his own image. But if the Wall was broken, the Hands, the people who looked over multiverses. The people who looked over each and every multiverse and made sure they did they work well.
Perpetua belonged to that category. She was one of them once but she had fallen from grace a long time ago when she tried modeling the DC multiverse according to her own image and trying to make an army out of it.
And if Diana did end up destroying the Wall, it would be all over and the Hands will come to erase everything and start from the beginning. There would be no one to tell them about the past, the previous multiverse.
While the Darkest Night tried his best to stop what Diana was doing and enticing her with a separate universe where he wouldn't meddle at all, Diana was staunch on her decision to break everything.
She knew that everything would end with this but she wanted to have that hope. A hope that the Hands would see the good in the hearts of the people who were left and maybe give them a leeway. Meanwhile, the army of Batman and Supeman was fighting the army of Darkest Night.
This was an all out battle. Even Batman used his Ring on the dead body of Batman who Laughs. Superman and Lex Luthor teamed up and beat the shit out of Robin King. Though Ribin King had Kryptonite, he forgot that Superman was dying and he was living under different forms of Kryptonite all this time.
Finally after a long fight, the Source Wall was broken and the hands arrived. The first thing they did was killing the Darkest Night on the depths of the burning Sun of the multiverse. And then proceeded to destroy the multiverse.
Diana and others had already expected that but they wished the people remembered the past. The Hands seeing the sacrifice and going through the memories of Diana and others had decided to restore the multiverse with all the memories intact.
It wouldn't be the same but the memories of the past would remain with the last few people who had fought and this way the multiverse was restored. And with the curtain fell on the whole series.
The series that had the name 'The Darkest Night' on it. And it properly justified the name. Not only the main villain was the Darkest Night but also the whole story was about the Darkest Night metaphorically.
The audience loved the series. It was only the Avengers and the related teams that had a gloomy face because they know whatever in the series was shown, it was real and they would soon have to face the aftermath.
And that day probably wasn't far!!
"I expected it to be worse but holy shit!!"
"The Hands will be a headache for us. They would erase everything when they arrive. We will have to stop them."
"Then we will need the biggest guns, Tony are the new suits ready?"
"Yes, we did a test pilot. We can now travel in the multiverse."
"We will need to infiltrate our home." Bruce out of nowhere pitched his idea. All turned around and looked at him. The whole series here was almost about him and his versions so everyone was kind of sympathetic to him.
But now it seemed like he was very angry with what had happened and he needed to find the solution.
